The Savannah, Georgia, native is coming off a season in which he averaged 14.1 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. He was a 47.5% shooter from the field and 33% from beyond the arc.
Missouri State extended an offer to him on Tuesday, and he accepted it quickly. Tennessee Tech and Stephen F. Austin are his two other listed offers.
Hugie elevated his game from his freshman to sophomore year, becoming a nightly starter and improving his shooting totals from one year to the next. He was also an 83% free-throw shooter en route to a second-team All-Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference honors.
Hugie is the fifth player to announce his transfer to Missouri State since the end of the 2024-25 season, after all but three players from last season’s roster entered the transfer portal. He’s the second JUCO player to commit to the Bears, joining Logan A. College transfer Cameron Boone.
